Stop being a cry baby, you made the car illegal and got caught, the week to comply is a bit rough though.

how the hell do you drive around town with only 80mm clearance... you take detours when ever you see a speed bump?

yeah, it'd only be high for maybe half a day while it goes over the pits.
the only way you'll be able to make em adjust the way you're saying is if you get normal "lows" instead of the supers and then you can adjust em to be just legal or dumped. |

i dont know much about koni "adjustibles" but as i said before would it be just be a simple case of "adjusting" the shocks to comply instead of spending $850?

koni actually dont adjust the height only the comfort... thats y people get coilovers so they can adjust the height and if u get really good ones u can adjust the damper, toe etc...

What they normally do is put a very fine threaded collar on the upright, with 2 nuts - 1 to hold the lower spring holder and another as a lock nut. This way you can wind the nuts down to raise ride height or wind them up to lower the car. This will still need to be wheel aligned each time you change the nut positioning.
I had this setup in a 180B Rally car years ago. Shane

well mate what you do is get normal factory height springs put them in then put the low ones back in... my brothers car is no s**t 65mm off the floor on the a** end we need two jacks and three men to do the job to change a tyre. We need two men to lift it then put a small jack first under to raise it then get the big jack and lift it up. Man as long as your not a d***head on the road, not speeding or have a real loud car the cops won't give a F**K how low your cars is.

Call up one of the performance places. There's loads of them round town these days.
They'll sell you some (I forget what they're called) little wedges that go in between the coils and/or above/below the spring in the seat to raise the car. They on;y cost about $20 or so. They're illegal aswell, but if they don't inspect the suspension setup, you'll be right. Sounds like it's so low that even with the raising blocks in it, they'd still need to jack up the car to even see the springs. |

yeah i was goona put blockes in it to lift it up but my mate did it to his el xr8 and the pit people told him to fix it up properly cause they check the suspension when they look under your car and saw the blockes..
